Han So Hee's Agency Responds to Mother’s Alleged Involvement in Illegal Gambling

Actress Han So Hee’s agency has issued a statement regarding the recent controversy involving her mother.

On September 2, it was reported that Han So Hee’s mother, Ms. Shin, was allegedly arrested for operating illegal gambling houses at various locations from 2021 until the end of last month, using a front man.

In response to these reports, Han So Hee’s agency, 9ato Entertainment, released an official statement on September 3. They emphasized that Ms. Shin's actions are "entirely unrelated" to Han So Hee, who "only learned of the situation through the news" and is "deeply distressed."

Hello, this is 9ato Entertainment.

We would like to share our position on the reports regarding the mother of our actress Han So Hee.

The report from yesterday (September 2) concerns Han So Hee’s mother’s personal and independent actions. Han So Hee was devastated upon learning about it through the news.

We want to reiterate that this incident is entirely her mother’s independent actions and has nothing to do with the actress.

We apologize for delivering such uncomfortable news related to personal matters rather than her work.

Thank you.
